What do you guys think of the C6 Corvette Z06?

@elijahprasad7884

Жыл бұрын

I think it's the best solution for those who don't get a C8 Z06. The C7 Z06 might have overheating issues on the track, and the C5 Z06 is around 20 years old now and might get outperformed on the track by modern cars. The C6 Z06 is old but still modern and fast enough to go racing and you can also mod it to be even faster. I drove this thing the most in NFS Carbon along with the Lamborghini Murcielago.

I picked up a C6Z06 16 months ago. Went all the way from Atlanta to Pa to get it. It's a 2008 Jetstream Blue Metallic that only had 6,008 miles on it. What a dream! I actually sold my C7 to my son, a different C6 to my daughter. Love the combination of muscle with a manual!!

To me the C6 Z06 corvette is the nicest body style the only thing this model year needs is an upgraded interior with C8 seats. What I like the best is the pure brutal driving experience you definitely feel the roadway. Having owned three of these Z06 I can tell you that I will own another one soon...

The C6 ZO6 is definitely where I'm leaning. The factory issue with the valve guides can corrected by either doing a "wiggle test" to the valves, or send the heads to a shop to get corrected, or a set of aftermarket street/strip alternatives. Heads are definitely not a deal breaker. Anyway, I appreciate the video. It just reaffirms my interest in the C6. Looking forward to the review.

I have also owned a 2003 Z06 as well, and I think the C6 is little tighter around the corners and a touch more responsive off the line, despite having a little more weight. I think the shorter throw shifter on the C6 makes it bit easier to go through the gears VS. the C5, but my C5 Z06 was still an amazing driving experience.

I kept my 2009 Base Coupe 2LT, Z51, Transparent Top, Premium Chrome Wheels, NPP, Paddle Shift Automatic, purchased off the Dealership Showroom Floor (Was there from December 2008 until I bought it 5/5/2009 for $51,990 discounted down from a MSRP of $58,400). Dealerships were going through tough times 2008 through 2009 and I benefited from it. My local dealerships saw few Corvette allocations and would rarely discount Corvettes. Although it’s not a ZO6, with only 7,200 miles on it, I am so glad I kept it. That LS3 still feels great! It just wants to pull and pull and pull for 436 horsepower. 👍👍 Back in 2011, I saw a 2008 Batmobile on the very showroom floor where I purchased my C6 for $48,000 as I recall. Unfortunately, the wife vetoed my plan to get the Black on Black ZO6 because she didn’t want any “Stick Cars” in the fleet. Kept my hopes up for automatics to come, but it took awhile.

Beautiful cars man!!! You have total creampuffs! When I was in the market last year to get a c6 to park next to my 5th gen ss I was looking at c6z06's. Unfortunately they went from being in the 30's to 40's with in the last few years. I ended up getting a 2006 Loma wide body Lemans Blue C6 who's ls7 was replaced after it dropped a valve with a built lq4. Nice small stage two btr cam, super charger, meth kit, bigger fuel injectors, full exhaust, heads, lifters, forged bottom end for $32k. Car has 29k originally miles and 8k on the motor. I will say it is fun, but the cast iron motor runs pretty darn hot here in az. I have a big aluminum dual fan radiator and a 160° thermostat. It's fun, but not cammed ls7 fun! Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to watch more of your vids on your beautiful cars!

That 7.0 engine was also in Holden sedans in Australia called the “W427” they are now very expensive. $160,000usd- $285,000usd. It makes the Z06 a very cheap buy from an Aussie point of view. I have the Holden SS 6.0 ute (like a modern day El Camino)

From someone who has owned and driven both c5z and c6z I think c6z is the better value whether you’re staying stock or plan to modify. I have not driven a T6060 trans tho. A cam and exhaust on either car does wonders!

2006 Z06 owner here! It is amazing that a 16year old design is still a relevant high performance car today in 2022. What i love about my car is the rawness of it. I dont feel like the car is driving me, like most modern vechiles these days. My car is a meduim H/C/I/E car with fixed heads 557whp (133mph trap speed). Car is a street beast and reliable. Bought my car before the "VID" prices for $36k w/39k on the odometer. There are lots of way to mod these car but not many stock examples. Keep it stock if thats what you want. I prefer the chop of a cammed LS7 with LT headers. These cars easily get to 600whp with large cams but it will effect drivabilty and some low end power. For the street, a small or medium cam really wakes these cars up with almost no drivability issues. The reason so many do cams in these cars is if you are pulling the heads to get "fixed" you might as well drop a cam in too. Check out Katech, LMR , BTR and RPM. You are prob alrready aware of most of this info. Lastly, even though i'm not a fan of the C7 corvettes, your ZR1 is bada$$. Keep on rollin!

505hp from 7 liters. My X3M has 503hp from 3 liters, with 2 turbos. And the X3M is a 1/2 second faster from 0-60 even though it weighs over a thousand pounds more than the Z06. My point, I don't have one, just marveling out loud. It's crazy how far engineering has come. The new Z06, with 2 fewer liters, a full second faster! Can't beat the performance of this Z06 for the money though!

No way.. C5 CORVETTE body lines are much more stealthy looking. Plus the pop up headlights are 🔥 I don't like bug looking lights.. people still sleeping on the C5.

I own a c-5. I'm hoping to one day own a c6 zo6

You want to buy it from me and do a giveaway? 😁

You still get a hell of a car with a base z51 manual for about half of your z06

True but in my opinion there’s more car here in stock form so best bang for the buck.

I really want one of these Z06’s. I feel like it’s worth skipping the other C6 models to get this beast! 505HP, 7.0 N/A V8, 6 speed, what else could you ask for?

It is an awesome machine!

Better get those heads fixed dude! Awesome car!

I have the opportunity to trade my 2012 shelby gt500 with many tasteful mods for a near stock 2007 c6 z06 straight across. The vette is la man's blue with black interior LT3. Both cars have low miles. I test drove the vette and loved it, very hard to compare with the shelby, as they are drastically different. I am leaning towards the vette but have a couple of concerns. The vette has a new motor as it experienced the valve drop issue. I'm having a really hard time finding out if the new motor from GMC came with the valve issue sorted out from the factory or if I will need to have that taken care of. I've heard of ls7 equipped 2015 camaros experiencing the valve drop issue. Would you know if GMC has sorted this problem out for replacement motors? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
